SENATOR IFEANYI UBAH ATTENDS FUNERAL CEREMONY OF HIS LATE REGIONAL MANAGER; MR IKECHUKWU ODUM IN MBAUKWU, AWKA SOUTH LGA, ANAMBRA STATE

Today being Saturday; October 8, 2022, I attended the funeral of my late Regional Manager; Mr. Odum Ikechukwu at Mbaukwu, Awka South LGA, Anambra State.

Until his demise, late Odum Ikechukwu was a person everyone wanted to reckon with. Remarkably endearing inside-out, a bundle of inspiration to all around him; a kind soul and wise counsel whose good deeds are inexpressible in words. Unfortunately, death snatched him from us helplessly. He was a truly magnificent man whose humility, openness and guidance will be cherished forever.

Till date, I am still shocked, saddened and traumatized by the gruesomeness that took him from us. So many times, I have tried to make sense of this, and tried to understand the reason why this happened. Unfortunately, there are no easy answers, and as difficult and painful as it is, we must accept that this is the will of God.

Undoubtedly, his demise has left a void in my heart as he was not just my Regional manager but a brother, strong pillar of support and confidant who was always there for me each single moment that he was called upon. However, while l mourn today, I have also taken comfort in the fact that he lived a productive and an impact filled life worthy of emulation.

I want to specially thank my friends that attended the funeral; Senator Uche Ekwunife, Senator Victor Umeh, Hon Uche Okafor (Wiper), Prof. Umenweke, Chief Vin. Onyeka, Ugodan, Emeka B.B, Chief Edwin Igbokwe, Hon. Juliet Chukwunonye Anaeme (Ada Ozubulu) and other notable personalities too numerous to mention.

May God grant us all the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.

Senator (Dr.) Ifeanyi Ubah
Anambra South Senatorial District.

UPDATED: Attack on Sen Ifeanyi Ubah’s convoy purely assassination attempt, says Ekwunife.

...as Ubah’s close friend/school mate recall incident. Says security killed one gunman, injured two

Senatorial repressing Anambra Central District Iyom Uche Ekwunife has described the attack on her colleague Sen Ifeanyi Ubah as purely an assassination attempt on his life.

Ekwunife who disclosed this at the funeral ceremony of Mr Ikechukwu Odum, one of the aides to Ubah who was killed by gunmen last month contended that this is not the Anambra state that people know.

“I lack words to express how I feel about what happened and I also lack words to console my colleague Sen Ifeanyi Ubah over the demise of two of his trusted aides, but God says in everything we should give Him thanks.

“Nobody knows what happened and how it happened but this is not the Anambra of our dream and this is not the Anambra we know where people come out and take away lives that they do not have and they cannot give.

“I thank God for saving the life of Sen Ifeanyi Ubah because it would have been the other way around, but God said no but for me I call it assassination attempt on his life and nothing more.

“Because if you look at the level of destruction of the vehicle he was riding on, you will know that it is purely an assassination attempt on his life.

“But God saved him because of who he is, that is why I came to support him and sympathize with him in this time of grief and I ask him to take it easy and take heart.

“God knows and decides the fate of men, but most importantly, I want to console the Odum family, I know them too well and they are good people and only God knows while He took his life, she said

“People should utilize the opportunity they have to do good while still alive because nobody knows when it will happen. Today it’s Ikechukwu, no one knows who’s next. He left a memorable impact on the people that crossed his part while he lived. May God grant him eternal rest and grant his loved ones the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”

At the grave side, it took the assistance of Sen Ekwunife and other prominent personalities irrespective of political affiliation to hold Sen Ifeanyi Ubah who wept uncomfortably as his most trusted aide was being lowered and he could not speak to reporters due to his psychological disposition.

Fresh facts also emerged at the funeral over how the incident occured as close business friend and secondary school mate to Sen Ifeanyi Ubah (names withheld), narrated that the gunmen first opened fire on the bullet proof SUV which had the school mate and Ubah inside with the driver.

According to him , “I have always carried Sen Ubah on my SUV and he likes to sit in front at the passenger side.

“But before the incident, my vehicle had problems on my way to Owerri from Asaba, so I had to join him in his own jeep and the gunmen came straight to the front of the jeep and opened fire.

“Had it being that my SUV didn’t have problems I would have carried the senator in my SUV and it is not a bullet proof vehicle both of us would have been gone by now”;

“It was that my vehicle problem that saved Sen Ifeanyi Ubah and myself from the barrels of the gunmen.

Similarly he confirmed that a security operative attached to Sen Ubah returned fire and killed one of the gunmen and injured like two of their gang members but they carried them into their vehicle and people at Enugwu Ukwu junction were clapping for them; he said.

The thoughts of his departure to eternity is a reality that is too difficult for me to embrace.

While appreciating you all for your love and solidarity in this moment of grief, I want to humbly urge you all to keep us in your prayers as we prepare to bury and commit my late aides to mother earth tomorrow.

Attack on Convey; Sen. Ifeanyi Ubah Thanks Family and Friends For Outpour of Love.

My dear Family and Friends,

I want to wholeheartedly thank you all for the tremendous outpour of love; calls, messages and commiserations following the devastating attack on my convoy which led to the gruesome death of my Regional Manager; Mr. Odum Ikechukwu and Personal Aide; Mr. Mathias Goodnews on Sunday; September 11, 2022 at Enugu-Ukwu, Anambra State.

This is a tragic occurrence that no one ever foresaw. Who would have ever thought that after attending the Anglican Synod at Ozubulu, we would fall prey to prowling armed men.

Two precious souls were taken from us. Two vibrant voices we love are now still. This has created a deep vacuum in my heart which can never be filled. After harrowing heartaches and tears, I will always have beautiful memories of these two loyal and impeccable young men who spent the past 15 years of their lives with me.

However, I am consoled by the fact that we spent our last moments together in the house of our Lord Jesus Christ whose death and resurrection has secured eternal life for all who believe in him.

While appreciating you all for the love and solidarity in this moment of grief, I want to kindly appeal to us all to support the families of these young men in any measure that we can.

In the same vein, let me use this medium to pray for the peaceful repose of the two gallant mobile police officers; Inspector David Jimoh and Sgt Bello Lawan who lost their lives in the unfortunate attack on my convoy.

I am also wishing the surviving police officers who sustained various degrees of injuries during the attack speedy recovery as they recuperate in various hospitals under my care .

Conclusively, I pray the good Lord to grant the soul of the deceased repose, just as we seek divine help and grace for their families to bear this irreplaceable loss.

Thank you all!

The Nigerian Senate today at the plenary, condemned the assassination attempt on its Prince, Sen. Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah.

Senator Uche Ekwunife Presented A Matter Of Urgent
Public Importance On The Attack On Senator Dr Ifeanyi Ubah And The Gruesome Murder Of His Aides .


The Senator who came under POINT OF ORDER 41 and 51 moved for the leave of the Senate to present a matter of urgent public importance on the attack on Senator Ifeanyi Ubah and the gruesome murder of his aides.

The motion was seconded by Senator Albert Bassey (YPP Akwa Ibom State)

In her own contribution to the motion, Senator Biodun Olujimi had the following to say “I rise to add my voice to what my earlier colleague who seconded said about this dastardly act. When we heard, we thought it was a joke because we cannot imagine in broad day light such disaster would happen. We need to look deeper into the problem of insecurity. We still must do a lot more because for this to happen in broad day light to a man who has a convoy with more than six cars, you can imagine what can happen to an individual who drive a single car. We must know those who are perpetrating such ugly incidents in our country. I lend my condolences to Senator Ifeanyi Uba and I pray that this will abate.” -

“Let me join In commending Senator Uche Ekwunife for bringing this motion. Ordinarily, I would have expected the motion to be brought by Senator Ifeanyi Ubah himself but *I would take that back having seen the trauma and pain looking into the eyes of our colleague*. As bad as it is, we must thank God for the life of our brother and our colleague. We thank God for saving him. As alluded in the motion, this is not the first time we are dealing with gruesome attack and killing in Anambra State and no arrest is being made and no prosecution has commenced and we are worried. All Nigerians should be interested and we should all contribute our quota in providing security for our people. What is wrong for a state government like Anambra State after the killing of a member of State House of Assembly to make some investment in the acquisition of security equipments? We should encourage our State Governors that they should not see security as exclusive preserve of the Nigeria Police that they should rise to the situation. I extend my condolences to the families of the five people who lost their lives in this attack.” - Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege

In his own contribution,Senator Emmanuel Bwacha said as follows

“I want to congratulate our Colleague for surviving that terrible attack. I agree with the Deputy Senate President that the level of insecurity we have in this country demands that all hands must be on deck. Those who are supposed to do the needful should rise and do it. Some of the Governors need to do more. Let those who are involved in handling securities of communities and state wake up to their responsibilities. May God help Nigeria in this dangerous situation.” -

“I want to join my colleagues to make condolences. There are people that have become conflict entrepreneurs who are utilizing the security situation to unleash mayhem. I join the Deputy Senate President to continue to ask the security agencies to do much more than they are doing.” - Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe

According to the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan.

" I know what my friend and brother, Senator Ubah is passing through having survived an attempt on my life in 2008 in which I lost a police man attached to me . Every hand must be on deck to fish out the perpetrators of this dastardly act ".

Other Senators like Senator Obinna Ogba( PDP Ebonyi State ) also added their voices in commiserating with the Prince of the Senate, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Ubah

The Senate after the contributions by the members resolved to:

i. Observe a minute silence in honour of the victims that lost their lives in the unfortunate attack;

ii. Direct the Nigeria Police Force, Department of State Services and other relevant security agencies to carry out comprehensive investigations into the incident with a view to arresting and prosecuting the perpetrators; and

iii. Mandate the Nigeria Police, Department of State Services and other relevant security agencies to report findings back to the Senate Committee on National Security and Intelligence as well as the Senate Committee on Police Affairs within two weeks..

Though you say??

10 other lives are not important?
Odetokun3 my dear, please permit to remind you that no life, repeat no life is or will be more important than the other. But jubilation is always on the higher side when only One or more persons survive what claimed the lives of thousand peoples, even when it's obvious like I said earlier, that no life is more important than the other. Thanks immensely for your concern.
(Listen to this attached clip, and you will notice that the clip recorder's voice changed from lamenting to excitement when he heard the shout that one of the victims is still alive)
